“Stop the car!”

“Get down, Renee “Marcelo said to me.
Ifrowned,confused.“Why?”
“Get down!“He ordered again.

The car drove off, immediately.
“Ugh!
| stood there for a second trying to calm down.
Why did he kiss me?
| decided not to think too much about it so I wouldn't go crazy.
Well considering what | had done to him in front of Andrew, | decided not to hold it against him for kissingin
